Having real problems, looked on the internet for CoolWeb Search after getting popups and browser hijacked and found this website. Done everything like Spybot: Search and Destroy but that doesn't find it. CWShredder says that it isn't on the system but I know it is because Ad-Aware finds it great! and then it freezes when it tries to delete it.

I have performed a System Restore back to an earlier date and now the system is back to normal. After scanning with Ad-Aware, it found no items. I was only reluctant to try this because last time we had a virus and tried a System Restore the computer crashed and we lost all our programs and files consequently.
The problem is now fixed.
Thanks anyway.

Hi hello world,

Sorry we didn't get to you in time, but it appears that you selected a system restore point before you contracted your problems. In view of the fact your system appears to be cured, i'll close this topic.
